No, no, no. Typical misconception. The point of applying economics to decisions is to add understanding to why others act as they do and how they will react to you actions; thus making more +EV-plays so to say. You don't have to study economics to realize that you prefer taco to chicken .


P.S. Hope you weren't sarcastic as my detector is constantly off .

My point was simply that economic theory would not predict a substantial increase in the efficiency of an economy associated with teaching people economics. But there still might be many reasons why it would be useful to study economics for people.
